Took today off from work and took my kids out coin hunting, first bank we just missed a $1,000 bag of cwr dimes (shipped yesterday), but we nabbed $130 in halves, a bust. Next bank we bought a $500 bag of cwr dimes, and as I was dumping the halves, I checked the reject bin and found an older foreign. We ended up scoring 7 silvers from $500 cwr(5) and one String box(2).
Well, I had an issue with my pics, but one dime was a '64 sailboat, and the foreign coin a 1956 Chinese 5 Fen.
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...

My first post. :) I have been doing this for the past month or so. My latest effort was a box of dimes and it produced a 1949 Roosevelt dime. |

So you guys have all been finding mercuries lately and like I said I have found 3 out of 77 boxes. It's been over a month since I searched and my last 4 boxes were skunks, so I decided to get a box hoping to not get skunked.
Box #78:
1945 mercury
1958 d (x2)
1961 d
1962 d
1964 d
1968 canadian.
Ended up with 6 silver in this box! One roll had 4 silvers in it :) I thought the canadian was a 50% silver but a magnet stuck to it. all well.

Thought I would try my luck at another bank.
Box #79:
1947 d
1964 d
1976 s proof
1968 canadian (non silver)
2001 brittish 5 pence
Amazed I found the proof. First one found. I edge search so I don't find any. But this one I saw the edge and thought it would be a brand new 2012. I pull it out and was shocked to see a beautiful proof.

when I stopped searching about a month ago, people were posting skunk after skunk. looks like it is picking up again. Every other post has a mercury find, and everyone is getting great numbers. Keep it up everyone!

CoinRollHuner, glad you joined us! Is that 69-D dime you got a Canadian? Because I'm not sure if you know this, but only 64 and before American dimes are silver. Edited by DimeHunter
